Hudson Pacific Properties Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

– Signed 540,000 Sq Ft of Office Leases –

– Provided 3Q 2024 FFO Outlook and Updated Full-Year Assumptions –

LOS ANGELES--()--Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP) (the "Company," "Hudson Pacific," or "HPP"), a unique provider of end-to-end real estate solutions for dynamic tech and media tenants, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2024.

"With over 500,000 square feet of office leases signed in the second quarter, we have continued to build on our strong start to the year. While still challenging, our west coast office market conditions are gradually improving. We believe our solid leasing execution will continue as we move through the balance of the year given the second quarter was our highest activity since 2022, and our leasing pipeline remains healthy," stated Victor Coleman, Hudson Pacific's Chairman and CEO.

"In terms of our studios, after 18 months of strikes and negotiations, the recent ratification of the Teamsters’ contract clears the way for increased production activity. However, industry dynamics are very fluid, and as a result, we still lack visibility in regard to timing and direction of our studio operations. Importantly, we do not require production to return to anywhere near prior peak levels for our studio business to start to contribute meaningful value, in part due to the streamlining of our model these past few years, but it will take time. Lastly, from a balance sheet perspective, ongoing deleveraging remains a top priority and we have no debt maturities until the end of 2025."

Financial Results Compared to Second Quarter 2023

  • Total revenue of $218.0 million compared to $245.2 million, primarily due to asset sales and two tenant move outs, one at 1455 Market and one at Sunset Las Palmas Studios, all partially offset by improved studio ancillary revenue
  • Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $47.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $36.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, largely attributable to the items affecting revenue, and partially offset by reduced depreciation and interest expense
  • FFO, excluding specified items, of $24.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $34.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, mostly attributable to the items affecting revenue, along with less FFO allocable to non-controlling interests. Specified items consisted of transaction-related income of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share; and a one-time derivative fair value adjustment of $1.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Prior year specified items consisted of transaction-related income of $2.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share; prior-period property tax reimbursement of $1.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share; deferred tax asset write-off expense of $3.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share; and, gain on debt extinguishment (net of taxes) of $7.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
  • FFO of $23.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $42.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share
  • AFFO of $24.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $31.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, primarily attributable to the items affecting FFO, partially improved by reduced non-cash revenue adjustments and lower recurring capital expenditures
  • Same-store cash NOI of $105.2 million, compared to $119.3 million, mostly driven by the two tenant move outs at 1455 Market and Sunset Las Palmas Studios

Leasing

  • Executed 82 new and renewal leases totaling 539,531 square feet, with significant leases including:
    • 157,000-square-foot new lease with the City and County of San Francisco at 1455 Market with a 21-year term
    • 48,000-square-foot renewal lease with a financial services company at the Ferry Building with an approximately 6-year term
  • GAAP rents increased 2.6% and cash rents decreased 13.3% from prior levels, with the change in cash rents primarily resulting from the aforementioned new lease at 1455 Market. If excluded, GAAP and cash rents increased 8.0% and 0.9%, respectively
  • In-service office portfolio ended the quarter at 78.7% occupied and 80.0% leased, compared to 79.0% and 80.5%, respectively, in first quarter of this year, with the change primarily due to a single tenant known vacate at Concourse
  • On average over the trailing 12 months, the in-service studio portfolio was 76.1% leased, and the related 34 stages were 78.1% leased, compared to 76.9% and 79.4%, respectively, in the first quarter of this year, with the change due to the aforementioned tenant move out at Sunset Las Palmas

Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024

  • $706.5 million of total liquidity comprised of $78.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $628.0 million of undrawn capacity under the unsecured revolving credit facility
  • $13.4 million and $183.1 million, or $6.7 million and $46.8 million at HPP's share, of undrawn capacity under construction loans secured by Sunset Glenoaks Studios and Sunset Pier 94 Studios, respectively
  • HPP's share of net debt to HPP's share of undepreciated book value was 37.3% with 92.2% of debt fixed or capped and no maturities until November 2025

Dividend

  • The Company's Board of Directors declared and paid dividends on its common stock of $0.05 per share, and on its 4.750% Series C cumulative preferred stock of $0.296875 per share

2024 Outlook

Hudson Pacific is providing an FFO outlook for the third quarter of $0.08 to $0.12 per diluted share and updating key assumptions related to its full-year FFO outlook (see table below). There are no specified items in connection with this outlook.

The IATSE and Teamsters unions ratified new contracts in mid-July and early August, respectively, which paves the way for production to normalize. The Company's outlook assumes lower studio NOI in the third quarter, as operating conditions are incrementally less favorable than the first half of the year and it will take time to greenlight and ready new productions. Accordingly, the Company has also adjusted its full-year same-store cash NOI growth assumptions due to slower than anticipated absorption within its same-store studio portfolio.

The Company believes that office occupancy at the end of the third quarter could be in line with that reported for the second quarter. However, the Company's third quarter FFO outlook assumes that office lease expirations in the second and third quarter result in lower average office occupancy and NOI for the third quarter compared to the second quarter. The Company’s same-store office portfolio continues to perform in line with its previously provided full-year same-store cash NOI growth assumptions.

This outlook reflects management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels and the earnings impact of events referenced in this press release and in earlier announcements. It otherwise excludes any impact from new acquisitions, dispositions, debt financings, amendments or repayments, recapitalizations, capital markets activity or similar matters. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from these estimates.

Below are some of the assumptions the Company used in providing this outlook:

Same-store for the full year 2024 is defined as the 41 office properties and three studio properties, as applicable, owned and included in the Company's stabilized portfolio as of January 1, 2023, and anticipated to still be owned and included in the stabilized portfolio through December 31, 2024.

(2)

Please see non-GAAP information below for definition of cash NOI.

(3)

Includes non-cash straight-line rent associated with the studio and office properties.

(4)

Includes non-cash compensation expense, which the Company estimates at $26,000 in 2024.

(5)

Includes non-cash interest expense, which the Company estimates at $4,000 in 2024.

(6)

Diluted shares represent ownership in the Company through shares of common stock, OP Units and other convertible or exchangeable instruments. The weighted average fully diluted common stock/units outstanding for 2024 includes an estimate for the dilution impact of stock grants to the Company's executives under its long-term incentive programs. This estimate is based on the projected award potential of such programs as of the end of the most recently completed quarter, as calculated in accordance with the ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis, where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that would impact net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. This includes, for example, acquisition costs and other non-core items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

We calculate Funds from Operations ("FFO") in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus the HPP’s share of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets. The calculation of FFO includes the HPP’s share of amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets.

 

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure we believe is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.

 

Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide. We use FFO per share to calculate annual cash bonuses for certain employees.

 

However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.

HPP's share is a Non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the measure on a consolidated basis, in accordance with GAAP, plus our Operating Partnership’s share of the measure from our unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the Operating Partnership’s percentage ownership interest), minus our partners’ share of the measure from our consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ percentage ownership interests). We believe that presenting HPP’s share of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations because we have several significant joint ventures, and in some cases, we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the joint venture. In such instances, GAAP requires us to account for the joint venture entity using the equity method of accounting, which we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes. In other cases, GAAP requires us to consolidate the venture even though our partner(s) own(s) a significant percentage interest.

Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure we believe is a useful supplemental measure of our performance. We compute AFFO by adding to FFO (excluding specified items) HPP's share of non-cash compensation expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, and subtracting recurring capital expenditures related to HPP's share of tenant improvements and leasing commissions (excluding pre-existing obligations on contributed or acquired properties funded with amounts received in settlement of prorations), and eliminating the net effect of HPP’s share of straight-line rents, amortization of lease buy-out costs, amortization of above- and below-market lease intangible assets and liabilities, amortization of above- and below-market ground lease intangible assets and liabilities and amortization of loan discounts/premiums. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow for the period. We believe that AFFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial position as compared to other REITs since AFFO is a widely reported measure used by other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

We evaluate performance based upon property Net Operating Income ("NOI") from continuing operations. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities or cash flows as measured by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to income from continuing operations, as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or our ability to make distributions. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be a useful performance measure to investors and management because when compared across periods, NOI reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. We calculate NOI as net income (loss) excluding corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains/losses on sales of real estate, interest expense, transaction-related expenses and other non-operating items. We define NOI as operating revenues (rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (external management fees, if any, and property-level general and administrative expenses). NOI on a cash basis is NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments required by GAAP. We believe that NOI on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance because it eliminates straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments to revenue and expenses.
